Imogen Head (b. United Kingdom) is a ceramic artist living and working in Hackney, east London.

Her practice examines the relationship between material, function and gesture, using clay as a means to explore the balance between intention and process. Rooted in handbuilding, her method evolves through repetition, touch and refinement, allowing form to emerge gradually through making.

Earlier sculptural studies of shells continue to inform her approach to structure and surface, shaping an understanding of proportion, rhythm and material balance. These investigations into organic form and the language of materiality underpin her functional work, where sculptural techniques meet utility.

Through this process, she investigates how form is defined by its making, and how evidence of process becomes integral to the object’s identity. Each piece exists between sculpture and everyday use, refined through carving and drying from a single mass of clay to reveal the inherent qualities of the material.
